i am running the same wheel setup with 3mm spacer and swift springs. i got -1.2 deg camber on both fronts using a 9/16 bolt which is very close in diameter to the lower oem bolt at 1/3 of the cost. spc camber bolts will net you -1.7 but you'll hit the spring perch, i tried this already.

if you get a 5mm spacer you can prob get that camber but then you'll be 1 rotation less on the recomended wheel nut engagement. prob ok for street but not on track. ive ran my setup on the track and no issues.

Guess there's no real solution besides coilovers. Don't really want to run a bigger spacer in front because then I would need longer studs and there's already some poke with the 3mm spacer.

Just saw this and thought everyone could have a good laugh!

I have ordered from nigel-jdm. Just know that they do not have the fastest communication and their website is not always up to date. However, they will get you what you need for a decent price.

Like everyone said either coilovers (ST maybe?) or get extended studs and a bigger spacer. You can get gorilla open ended pretty cheap or mutekis for under $80. I went with mutekis since they are steel and not aluminum to help avoid stripping studs. I think this is one of those you gotta pay to play scenarios unfortunately.

I ran 17x9 et 42 with 245/40/17 stock for about 4 weeks before I got coils. Zero running if that's what you guys are talking about.

Well it's a complicated situation but the landlord's family unexpectedly wants to move back in... even though she said she moved away for good *sigh*. A bummer because the pricing is really good here.

That'd be great Plato - yeah a bit unexpected to say the least, but I'm sure something will turn up. Just had to share a bit of grief...
